WOW!!!!
It has been at least 50 years since my family took me to the Emerson. I guess it was one of our favorite places to go. We lived in Ridgefield. My wife and I live in CA now and we were visiting my cousin and he brought us to the Emerson because he remembered how we loved the restaurant. What a treat it was for me especially. The steak sandwich was as I remembered.

Still World Class after 50+ years!
We have been coming since Curley, Pat, Alice, Frankie, and all the "old gang" were there... We always watched our step! Even though I live in Vermont, I STILL come down, and enjoy Eddie, Gary and the gang... It is still a Neighborhood hangout for me, even though I come 225 miles and not as often as before....By the way, where are the "Children must remain seated" signs?

COMFORT EVERYTHING
As a child growing up in the early 60's and 70's there was one thing that was most wonderful and dear to my heart. The Emerson Hotel. This was located by the Train station in Emerson, New Jersey. As we arrived there in my father's T-Bird my sister and I would would scan the bar as we wandered into the facility and look at all the regulars sitting and talking about whatever. We on the other hand were there for the steak sandwiches. Those warm and golden, dripping in butter delites this venue had become famous for. A full healthy meal in those days....you got everything you needed; cole slaw, pickels, and those wonderful french fries.....finished with a home made sweet and this was heaven. We need more places like this in this fast paced, stressed out world we live. "simple is the best way"
